I need to do 3 more of these, then I can start painting the two characters I need for the army. Ilúvatar willing, I'll be able to finish the rank-and-file during the weekend.
This method lends itself well to painting the LotR minis, as they should have that gritty, naturalistic look, but I still do prefer layering, given the necessary time.
For getting some bulk on the table, though, it can't be beaten for speed!
That is simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI like they way it turned out - with basing identical to my other minis, it fits in quite nicely!
Agree with Colgar6, just a lovely paint job. Not as bright as some of your others, but as you say, for the technique and getting mass models done, it comes out very well indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, a bit duller, but then again, for rank and file filling up the rear ranks (i.e. the extras ;o) ), it may create that sense of the big, anonymous crowd.
DeleteI may resort to this method again when in a hurry to get some units on the table, but as soon as I have finished this last Rohan warband, I'll go back to layering when painting Denethor and Boromir. If I could find my Orthanc Palantir (from a blister containing Saruman the White), I would get it done for a marker, too, as it plays a role in my modified GoB armylist...
